Jekyll, Pandoc, Tufte CSS, Minimal-Mistakes theme

This is a template repository to build a website using all of the above. It provides a Makefile and GitHub Actions for ease of use. No guarantees, use at your own risk, etc. (see LICENSE).

Uses:

• Minimal Mistakes theme
• Jekyll-Pandoc plugin
• Pandoc-Sidenote
• Reveal.js

And my own:

• Specs
• Tufte-inspired CSS customizations for Minimal Mistakes based on the Tufte-Pandoc Jekyll theme
• Jekyll-Pandoc-Docker — this is at Jekyll 4.2.0 and Pandoc 2.18 with pandoc-crossref at the moment.

Usage

Most everything is loaded as either submodules or gem-based plugins for easier updating.

Because this repository relies on Pandoc and some plugins, it will not work with the standard Github Pages implementation. Feel free to use my custom Docker image listed above.

1. Edit the _config.yml file to customize your website and suit your needs. This configuration uses the Chicago citation style and expects the bibliography to be at _data/biblio.yaml but it can all be changed.
2. Edit _data/metadata.yaml and _data/crossref.yaml to match your website's language and cross-reference handling.
3. Create index.md or index.html, pages, posts, and collections as needed.
4. Test the website by running make serve on the command line (known to work on MacOS and Linux so far, Windows users let me know if it works for you).

⚠️ Caveat

• The gh-pages branch must exist on your GitHub remote repository before attempting to build the website.
• You must edit the .github/workflows/build.yaml file to include the name of your repository.
